# The Gaming Gang October Spooktacular 2021 - Suspense: August Heat

1 episodes.

Tonight brings another first time offering for the Spooktacular with a 1945 episode from Suspense. Another of my favorite radio actors was Ronald Colman. While most radio listeners would remember Colman from his many guest appearances on The Jack Benny Program, alongside his second wife, stage and screen actress Benita Hume - whom he married in 1938 - Colman was a legend of of both film and radio. The married couple's appearances as Benny's perpetually exasperated next-door neighbors led to plenty of classic comedy gold. But this isn't the Laughtacular is it? Let's dive into yet another of the spooky episodes of Suspense! This airing features a tale based on the 1910 short story of the same name by W. F. Harvey. It is often referred to as a ghost story even though no ghosts ever make an appearance. Turn out the lights and give a listen to August Heat, starring Ronald Colman, on Suspense as it aired May 31st 1945.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
